Kon Tum merges with Quang Ngai, an opportunity for tourism to break through

Kon Tum Province (old) is a land containing unique cultural values ​​of 43 ethnic groups; including 7 indigenous ethnic groups. Nature has bestowed this place with wild landscapes, fertile primeval forests, stretching from the top of Ngoc Linh Mountain down to the Pleiku Plateau. After the merger, Kon Tum became the western land of Quang Ngai Province, possessing abundant tourism resources.

Kon Tum merges with Quang Ngai, an opportunity for tourism to break through.

With the connection between the great plateau and the sunny blue sea, along with the development of the transport infrastructure system, after the merger, Quang Ngai province promises to become an interesting destination for tourists, thereby creating a breakthrough for the tourism industry - one of the key economic sectors of the locality.

Ms. Bach Thi Man, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Ngai province said:

"After the merger, the new province will have a unique combination of Quang Ngai sea and Kon Tum plateau - creating a seamless and diverse sea and forest tourism space. This is a favorable condition for developing more attractive inter-regional routes and tours. Kon Tum's unique destinations such as the Wooden Church, Mang Den pine forest, and community cultural tourism villages will continue to be upgraded, closely linked with the cultural heritage and sea tourism resources of Quang Ngai. We aim not only to attract visitors but also to preserve the unique cultural features of the nation."

Mr. Bui Viet Ha, Chairman of Mang Den Tourism Association, Quang Ngai province commented:

"As for Kon Plong district, mainly Mang Den town, its geographical location is in the center, and we are sure that it will develop, develop very quickly. Because when the two provinces are merged, Quang Ngai's resources will be very large, and people will spend them on infrastructure investment. The leaders will also see Mang Den as the tourist center of the new province, so I think it will develop."

The three main ecological regions of the new Quang Ngai province are the highland, the plains and the islands.

During the previous working session with the two provinces, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that after the merger, the three main ecological regions of the new Quang Ngai province, namely the highland, the delta and the islands, will coexist in a unified area, opening up the possibility of sustainable, multi-sector economic development, from high-tech agriculture, supporting industry to marine economy, renewable energy and ecotourism and resorts. The guidance of General Secretary To Lam will be the "compass" for the new Quang Ngai province to develop tourism in depth and sustainably according to the strengths of each region and area.

Ms. Bach Thi Man, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Ngai province also said:

" The factor considered the most important "key" to connecting sea and forest tourism is synchronous transport infrastructure and tourism infrastructure. When the connecting routes from Kon Tum plateau to Quang Ngai sea are upgraded, shortening travel time, it will create ideal conditions to form products such as "morning sea - afternoon forest", "resort tourism combined with cultural experiences"... In addition, digital transformation, linking travel businesses, and developing high-quality tourism human resources will also be key factors."

With the direction of the General Secretary, along with the consensus and joint efforts of the entire political system and people of all walks of life, the west of the new Quang Ngai province (formerly Kon Tum province) is expected to make a breakthrough in tourism, soon exceeding the target number of 2025 of welcoming 3 million visitors to visit and experience.
